Three customized Hikari Groot figures go on sale today. One has a newly sculpted mouth and tons of paint. The others, just paint. The prices aren't much higher than the SRP for a regular figure and the painting is pretty gorgeous - you'll want to see these. There's only one of each so snag yours at 12:00 PM Pacific today (Friday) if you want one.

"KingÕs Quest is a collection of five different chapter releases, each focusing on an untold tale in GrahamÕs past. In each chapter, an aging King Graham reflects on his life of adventure with his granddaughter, Gwendolyn, while players are transported back to influence first-hand the decisions and events that shaped a kingdom. Chapters can be downloaded from in-game upon individual release throughout 2015 and 2016."

G2 Powerglide comes in G2 Superior. G2 Stunticons are awesome. G2 Victorion has, for some reason, Nightbird's head on one of the cars and it is awesome with new weapons and a lot of new bits. This is clearly the best thing from the show so far.

What (we think) we know: Titan Wars is likely a 2016 sequel to Combiner Wars, and from the look of things big toys will transform from robot to alt mode to some sort of playset for smaller "Headmasters" partners. If they are from Nebulos or Cyberton or are just Mini-Cons remains to be seen, but what's particularly telling about this piece is that it seems to bring back some of the personality of one of the last great and omnipresent trends in toys before the stink of the collector dictated a move away from micro toys toward fancier collector items.

Other "rumored" toys so far include Fortress Maximus (a reshelled Metroplex from 2013) and a shuttle whose identity is not completely clear yet. It is also speculated that the 2016 Legends Buzzsaw may be compatible with this new line, but that remains to be seen.

More on other recent announcements will be coming - I'm working on what was a great idea with poor execution for the SDCC coverage.

Xbox fans, it's time to try The Fall, a $9.99 download. It is not related to the band with the same name. Microsoft says:

"Take on the role of ARID, the artificial intelligence onboard a high-tech combat suit. ARID¹s program activates after crashing on an unknown planet. The human pilot within the combat suit is unconscious, and it is ARID¹s duty to protect him at all costs! The Fall is a unique combination of adventure-game puzzle solving, and side-scroller action, all set within a dark and atmospheric story. Exploration will be paramount to surviving your adventure."

$25, 25 pieces, 3D printed figure. Released July 30 at 9:00 PM Eastern. ToyFinity also announced its next Mordle drop - up now if you're a club member - along with the information that there will be no third year for club memberships.

The Four Horsemen had a five-year license on the property, and now it's up. New figures are expected, but as to who and when and for how much nobody knows for sure. Astrodite seems likely, and various Tweets hint at new things to come.

Via the October Toys store: OMFG Series 4 Flesh is in stock now, along with some swell other new releases.

My set is in the mail now and should be here later today - if you order a set, I suggest grabbing a glow-in-the-dark Titan Skeleton from Skeleton Warriors in the same order. You'll be glad you did, if you do glow, and you should.

What is interesting here is a smattering of numbers and the first legit news of a revival of Mobile Armored Strike Kommand (MASK) despite the fact that we've all been hearing rumblings for some time.

For those unfamiliar with the property, this was a late-1980s toy line in the vein of small-figure-with-vehicle competitors like Starcom, Dino-Riders, Air Raiders, and so forth. Each figure was about 2-inches tall and included a removable helmet - or mask - and a vehicle with limited transformation abilities. Usually a car would sprout wings or pop-out guns, or a motorcycle could turn into a makeshift gyrocopter. It was neat stuff, so a lot of older toy fans are curious to see how new ones may shake out in this reduced-cost, higher-price era.

At 9:30 PM Eastern on Tuesday, there will be X-Ray Man-inspired Argens. There will be Armodocs and Kabuto Mushis. There will be two mystery items - which could be new molds, or maybe a surprise Armorvor/Granthan.

"Shell City is plunged into a state of emergency after coming under attack from the devastating forces of PHANTOM. As the National Army struggle to contain the terrifying war machines, they call upon the only thing that stands between Shell City¹s obliteration and its salvation; the peanut chompin¹, villain stompin¹, TEMBO THE BADASS ELEPHANT!"

Via the Little Rubber Guys store: OMFG Series 4 Green is in stock now, along with many other worthwhile figures. Rise of the Beasts, SUCKLE, and some other lines are up for grabs if you're so inclined.
